    I did liked Deadpoll a lot, but I had the right expectations, I could say. Having been reading it for a while already and seen pretty much of its media appearances I was more or less pretty aware of what to expect, including all the gratuitousness.

    And in my case, it does was a date movie as my wife and I share a lot of our likes and interests, and Deadpoll is a character we are both a fan of. To be truthful, it has already been three dates that included Deadpoll thus far, lol. It is unlikely that we will go for a 4th tho.

    Agree in each and every comment.

    Hmmm...generally, I think yes, but I see a lot of movies so if one or two is a dud then I am not too bothered.   If it isn't one that you actually wanted to see beforehand then I would say maybe wait on Netflix.

    Same here, I go to the movies at least twice a week, so I can do with meh ones. Like "5th Wave". It was... meh.

    Generally been impressed with most of the Marvel based movies: Iron Man/Thor/Captain America have all been good, so looking forward to CA: Civil War.

    Didn't like the reboot of Spider Man and they have yet to do a decent Hulk movie (though Mark Ruffalo in the Avengers movies is very good). Haven't seen the Fantastic Four reboot, the original two were meh.

    The problem with the Dawn of Justice movie is that the Batman side is going up against the brilliant Christopher Nolan trilogy for comparison.

    They HAVE been impressing. Perhaps some more than others, and generally lacking good enemy development, but amazing. I don't mind the Hulk one with Norton: it may be the worst of them all, but is good enough, and much more better than the shit Eric Bana was in.

    Of them all, the better is Winter Soldier, and I'm really hyped for Civil War!

    I did liked the Spidey reboot with Andrew Garfield, but not the second part of it. Overinflated, overblown... Dunno, terrible. Garfield does a much better Parket than Toby, specially if you use as source the Parker from more recent comics than the golden age Spidey. He also seems to draw a bit from Ultimate SPider-Man's first run.

    Fantastic Four movies: burn them all. Terrible things to do to one of Marvel's most beloved properties.

    I agree that Superman v Batman has the down side of having to pitch this Batman against Nolan's Batman, but I think that is why they selected to make an older battle-worn Batman. It would be cool if the DC Cinematic Universe is set AFTER something like Batman: A Death in the Family (one robin dead...). It would make for nice story telling to include later on a grown up Dick Greyson resentful to Batma's shortcomings or something.

    I'm happy to apply for the position of Minister of WA Affairs. I think I've done a good job as Deputy Advocate for the last few months, keeping the forum up to date on what's up for vote in the GA and SC, as well as supplying reasoned opinion on how members should vote.

    Just read your OP Ele and Mal's reply properly. The above is predicated on there being a Minister for WA Affairs.

    I forgot to mention that one! and that you get it! Corrected OP

    1) Will there be a new charter/constitution/legal document that succeeds the former Charter?

    2) What happens to the WA Affairs Ministry?

    1) There might be one. I'll probably just re-write the existing one and simplify it.

    2) See above post :)

    As per the vote held a few days ago, the Voice has voted for its own dissolution, and deposited all its powers and management in the hands of the Delegate of The West Pacific, me. As such, this is the government structure I'd like to retain:

    The Delegate: overall leader of The West Pacific Union, with oversight of both in-game and off-site activities from members of The West Pacific region in NationStates.

    The Guardians: appointed by the Delegate, the Guardians ensure the safety of the region in-game, they are ROs of the region as well, but their positions do not carry also an off-site responsibility.

    The Ministries: appointed by the Delegate, the Ministries handle the day to day operations of the executive government, in the off-site area. Each Ministry is responsible for a set of areas determined by the Delegate.

    Due to the fact that we are starting a new set of Ministers, I'd like to have anyone interested in filling the following ministry positions to contact me via PM in the off-site forums:

    Ministry of Foreign Affairs: to handle foreign affairs and diplomatic relationship with other regions / governments

    Ministry of Military Affairs: to handle operations of the TWPAF

    Ministry of Internal Affairs: to help the delegate handle internal matter such as holidays, celebrations and media creation

    Ministry of NS Daily Isues: already appointed to Drachmaland.

    Ministry of WA Affairs: already appointed BBD

    Please be aware that being a minister will not have relationship to RO or Guardianship status. However, also keep in mind that Ministerial positions allow you to showcase your capacities and abilities.

    Also, bear in mind that Ministers who do NOT meet their ends, will be dismissed by the Delegate without much ado. We are a laid back region, but that does not means we should be inactive or lazy.

    I'm more than open to get any sort of feedback or comments, suggestions or advise, about new ministers, new projects, program, etc.

    I'd also like to ask all former Ministries who wish to continue with their tasks to re-apply: your experience is a great asset.

    Regards,

    Elegarth

    Delegate of TWP
